Holy Land USA

John Greco built Holy Land USA, a free Catholic tourist destination, in Waterbury, CT nearly single-handedly. After his death, the grounds - consisting of miniature recreations of Jerusalem & Bethleham, various scenes from the Bible, a walkable Stations of the Cross, and a large lighted steel cross - were too much for the order of nuns charged with its care to handle. Here is some footage from my visit. (It is also the first digital video I edited)

@tieyourmotherdown1 I am very interested in helping,I do often bring my rake and help clear small trails,

It's really sad to see!!! I remember going there as a child, I used to love that place!!!!

Quite an impressive feat building all of that, even if you are an atheist and not a follower of any kind of religion. There sure was some effort put into the construction there.

There is still so much to see at the site. Great Work!!! We also did a piece on our show at Ghost Chat New England.

@mase5701 Please consider the authority of God. I only say this because I care for you and believe Christ will return soon to judge us. These current events were predicted by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago. Please read Matthew 24 if possible.

I'm not trying to be an antagonist, I'm just trying to help. Thanks for your time.

@amd7787 My friend, you should probably try something other than just blindly accepting without question what others have ingrained into your mind since before you said your first word......Pick up a book, read the Constitution. You will be amazed that God -or any kind of reference to any higher power at all-- is NOT MENTIONED ONCE in the Constitution.

@mase5701 Sir, in all due respect to you, the United States of America was founded by devout Christians. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America is profoundly Christian thought.

God bless you. Jesus is Lord.

@amd7787 pathetic fool. believe what they tell you

Anyone who is interested in trying to fix this place up contact me! I have been up there more than twice and it really isn't THAT dilapidated. The big statue near the cross can still be seen from the highway. The cross is brand new and the replica of calvary is still intact. It is the little buildings that are in pieces.

I hope this gets more and more dilapitated. ATHEISM IS THE ONLY WAY. All you religious folk, stop fucking up this country. Go to the middleeast where its already fucked up and practice your false bull shit there!
